Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Where it goes

Buy this tank when the liquid is heavy and the room is low. At 96 inches it stands under an 8 foot ceiling with the manway reachable from a step, and the 1.9 rating covers acids, coagulants and brines that would put a standard wall over its limit. Full at the rating it puts 47,538 lb on a 102 inch circle, so the slab is poured level and in full contact with the whole tank floor; our concrete pad sizing guide covers the design, and a regulated chemical goes inside a berm. Whether crosslinked resin is what your chemistry needs, or an ordinary linear wall at the same rating would do, is the question our XLPE versus HDPE guide answers. Check the volume against your dose and delivery interval with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide. It holds water easily, but a fire reserve has its own rules; read the fire water reservoir guide before buying a chemical wall for that job.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. Up to 1.9 specific gravity and 140 F in this tank. Check it in the chemical compatibility guide and tell us the chemical and concentration when you order so the fitting materials match it.
2. The outlet. Give us the pipe size you are connecting and we confirm the fitting that goes in the wall. On a dense liquid, mount the pump below the outlet so the suction stays flooded, carry the first valve on its own support, and connect to hard pipe through a flexible connector.
3. The manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway, 96 inches up. Fill through a dip tube to the floor and run the vent outdoors on anything that fumes. A Snyder drawing for the 7410000 shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Sizes nearby

The same 3,000 gallons on a slimmer, taller shell: the 3000 gallon black heavy duty tank, the 3000 gallon black tank and the 3000 gallon 1.35 SG black tank. Nearly the same footprint, a little smaller: the 2650 gallon heavy duty tank. In white, one step up: the 3500 gallon white vertical tank.

Shipping and receiving

The 7410000N42 ships LTL at freight class 300 from the nearest of Snyder's plants in Chowchilla, CA, Lincoln, NE and Philippi, WV, strapped to a skid at 102 by 102 by 96 inches and 660 lb. A tank this wide is an oversize load, so if the estimator hands you to the phone, call us with the ZIP. Measure the door before the truck comes: 102 inches across goes through a roll-up door, not a man door. A forklift sets it with straps under the body, never through the manway. Check the part number 7410000N42 on the bill of lading, look over the shell for transit damage, and fill it with water first, holding it a day while you watch the pad edge and the outlet fitting, then drain and dry it before the chemical arrives.
